Heirs: Episode 14
by girlfriday
Now it’s time for the girls to duke it out, because why let the boys have all the fun? Rachel starts poking around and generally being smarter than we’d all like her to be, and begins her reign of terror. You know she’s scary when Young-do is trying to reason with her. Yeah, think on that. But just when you expect it to be more of the same, Eun-sang shows that she’s not as toothless as she seems.
There are mixed reports that Heirs is considering an extension, to which I say: Please omg no no no no no no no. It’s likely something that SBS is promoting now that the show has reached 20% ratings, but producers have been pretty clear about it being a 20-episode project. Some reports say it’ll end on 20 as planned, while others say it’s still undecided. It’s likelier the show won’t extend, but anyway, just a warning that there’s a chance it will.

EPISODE 14 RECAP
Tan arrives outside the broadcasting station at school to find Eun-sang pinned against the wall by Young-do, as he tells her that he’ll be messing with everyone but her, including himself.
Tan screams through the window and then just starts kicking at the door until it busts open, and goes crazy, grabbing the nearest chair to swing at Young-do. Eun-sang has enough presence of mind to get in between them, and hugs Tan, crying for him to stop. He calms down and ushers her outside so he can talk to Young-do privately. Uh, is that such a good idea?
Tan reminds him that he’s a dead man if he touches Eun-sang, and Young-do finally spells out his convoluted plan: Tan lets go of Eun-sang, and only then will he stop terrorizing them all.
Tan sighs that he’s tired of this fight, and asks how far he’s going to take it. Young-do has no plans to quit, ever, and explains that he lost his last opportunity to see his mother because he was fighting with Tan. “I want to kill myself every time I see you! How can I stop this fight now?” Are you scared it’ll be meaningless if you don’t see it through?
Tan tells him to stop being a child, and says he’ll bring himself down just to bring down others—he always has. Tan: “How can you not change at all?” Young-do: “And you? Are you happy that you’ve changed on your own?”
Young-do calls Tan’s bigger fight a senseless one (You’re one to talk. Please don’t bring sense into this, for your own sake.) and that he’ll end up kneeling in front of his father anyway. Tan says it does matter, and that if he has to kneel, he’ll kneel, but he’ll get back up again.
He tells Young-do to stay here all he wants, while he moves on to fight the big fight. I’d care more if this weren’t the seventy-billionth time you guys were having this conversation, but good for you.
Rachel comes by to ask Young-do what his deal is and why he’s always fighting with Tan. Young-do points out that she’s always fighting with Tan and hanging on even though he’s made it clear from the start that he didn’t have feelings for her. Young-do says she knows she’s in the wrong but hanging on anyway, and he’s doing the same.
Eun-sang asks Tan the same thing, and he jokes that it’s because of their love triangle. Well, you’re not wrong. Tan: “I’m in the middle of regretting, and Young-do is in the middle of hating himself.”
Eun-sang: “I think you and Choi Young-do are the ones dating.” If only. It would solve so many of our problems. She smiles to see he’s wearing his uniform again because she cleaned it herself, and when he starts to complain about the lack of care, she orders him to take it off.
He immediately jumps on the innuendo: “Right here? You want me to take it all off?” I love that she covers her eyes and then peeks anyway. Ha.
Bo-na and Chan-young are still on the outs, and this time when Chan-young passes her by without a word, Bo-na calls out to him. When he still doesn’t answer, she plops to the ground and cry-acts in her adorable, terrible way that she broke her leg. He smiles to himself, but keeps walking ahead, and she pouts.
Ye-sol comes up to Eun-sang in the hall and timidly asks if she’ll bring her the script she left at Myung-soo’s workshop, since she’s scared to step foot in there. She’s surprised that Eun-sang so readily agrees to help, and meekly apologizes for being so terrible before.
Eun-sang heads to the workshop to find Young-do sitting there glumly, and when he gets up to leave, she hands him a band-aid for his bruised lip. He turns it down and trudges out without a word.
Bo-na comes by soon after, looking for Ye-sol’s script, and Eun-sang smiles to see that she cares about her friend after all. And when she steps out, Young-do is outside waiting for her, and sticks out his hand to ask for the band-aid.
Eun-sang calls Chan-young to tell him about Bo-na thinking of her friend, and he admits that he had a hard time keeping himself from turning around when she was being so cute today with her fake injury. Eun-sang tells him to let it go before he loses Bo-na to someone else.
Madam Han comes into the kitchen to find Mom writing a list of things that the new housekeeper ought to do, and freaks out that Mom’s jumping the gun on leaving. I love that she takes it so personally like she’s being dumped.
But they’re interrupted when Rachel makes a surprise visit to see Madam Han, acting the part of the sweet fiancée. She says she has no intention of breaking her engagement to Tan, and calls her “mother” respectfully, which shocks Madam Han.
The thing Rachel really wants to know is why she posed as Eun-sang’s mother at the PTA meeting, and Madam Han just says the two moms are friends, which is why Tan is nice to Eun-sang at all.
Rachel seems to buy the explanation for the time being, except on her way out of the house, she sees Eun-sang’s school uniform hanging on the clothesline, with her nametag in the pocket. Argh.
Eun-sang panics when she finds her uniform gone, and marches over to Rachel first thing in the morning to demand her stuff back. Rachel says it’s in the trash, and watches spitefully as Eun-sang digs her way through the school trash to find the uniform her mother bought her.
She finally finds it, and Rachel confronts her about everything—being the housekeeper’s daughter, living under one roof with Tan, and playing the nouveau riche at school. She acts like it’s a personal affront to her that Eun-sang is poor, and orders her to clean up the trash with the skills she learned from her mother.
At that, Eun-sang slaps Rachel across the face, and when Rachel raises a hand to retaliate, she blocks her hand defiantly. I’m sorry—Fesity Eun-sang, where have you been all this time? Suddenly you can fight your own battles? Okay, I won’t dwell on it. I’m just happy you’re here.
Eun-sang growls at her that nobody insults her mother, and bites back, “Is that what your mother taught you?” Rachel fumes and tells her that she’ll do whatever it takes to make her transfer out of this school, including telling the whole world about Tan’s birth secret.
Rachel says that Young-do might not want to share the secret, but she has no such qualms, and will make them both pay if she can’t have Tan. Eun-sang realizes she’s cornered if she wants to protect Tan, and says through gritted teeth that she’ll think about transferring.
Suddenly Tan shows up, having overheard, and orders Eun-sang to walk away so he can talk to Rachel alone. Ugh, I seriously hate you when you bark orders at her.
Tan basically tells Rachel he’d have hit her already if she weren’t a girl, and that he thought he could salvage a friendship with her, but he’s fine letting that go now.
He’s mad at Eun-sang for treating him like he doesn’t matter in the equation, and she counters that he’s got it bad enough with his family. He points out that his whole life has been that way, and none of this is her fault. Eun-sang: “It isn’t yours either, Kim Tan.”
He asks if she wants to just run away together, but Eun-sang knows they can’t abandon their mothers a second time.
Tan and Young-do get punished for fighting, and this time Director Jung puts her foot down and tells Young-do to bring his father and Tan to bring his hyung. Eep.
Hyun-joo gets tasked with their counseling session where they have to write down their wrongs, and when they each insist it was the other’s fault, she tells them to fill the pages with what the other guy did wrong then.
They both sit in silence for a while, each thinking about all the things the other guy did to him. But in the end they both end up thinking about that last day that Young-do’s mother asked Tan to bring him to her. And they each think to themselves:
Tan: “I should’ve brought you there no matter what, if I knew it’d be the last chance.” Young-do: “I should’ve followed you till the end, if I knew it’d be the last chance.” Hyun-joo comes back to see blank pages, and asks if they did nothing wrong to each other, why are they fighting?
Bo-na sits in the broadcast booth chatting with Eun-sang, and asks if she’s telling Chan-young about how much she’s repenting. Hyo-shin comes by and sneakily puts her on air, and Bo-na gets broadcast all over the school, telling Eun-sang that she can’t breathe because Chan-young is her air and she feels like she’s in outer space right now. Hee.
It does the trick and gets Chan-young to come looking for her, but this time it’s Bo-na who’s running away because she’s mortified.
Hyo-shin finally runs into Hyun-joo for the first time at school, and she asks him to congratulate her on her new job. His face falls and he tells her he can’t really be that happy about his first love getting one step further. Aw.
Myung-soo asks Young-do how his first love is going, and Young-do asks if Eun-sang is really his first love. Myung-soo: “She is, if Tan isn’t.” Myung-soo asks what he’d do if he fell into the ocean with Eun-sang and there was only one life raft. Young-do chooses to die to save her, so that he’s forever in her heart and she can never be with Tan. Pfft. Myung-soo sighs that he always chooses the sad ending for himself.
Tan walks Eun-sang home and then sits in the hotel lobby waiting for Won, and Won even voluntarily sits down next to him for a brief moment. Tan muses that it’s pretty funny they’ve both left home, and asks hyung why he hates him so much.
Won doesn’t have an answer so much as, “What’s there to like?” and Tan says he’ll do better. Won shuts that idea down, thinking it’s more uncomfortable when he tries too hard.
At school, Bo-na runs around handing out invitations to her Back Together With Chan-young Party. Hahaha. You would have a party for that.
Young-do tells her that boys hate that stuff and it’s like advertising to the world that you’re a moron. Says the guy without a girlfriend. Just sayin’. She makes sure to invite Ye-sol, and they have a cute fight over who’s sorrier.
Hyo-shin gets dropped off for his college entrance exams, and why do I get the feeling he’s not even going to walk through those doors?
Tan spends the afternoon hanging out in his brother’s hotel room, and catches a glimpse of a list of employees. He calls Manager Yoon, perhaps to start discussing this stock war, but Manager Yoon is busier with the sudden announcement that Won has fired all the people on that list.
Chairman Dad gets the word and boils over with anger, while Won calmly asks Manager Yoon to make his choice: join his side or be the next person on that list.
Tan goes out to meet Eun-sang, which turns out to be a trap by Madam Han. It’s cute the way she grumbles that she needs hostages to get face time with her own son. She tells them about Rachel and warns them ineffectually to break up, and Tan hilariously informs her that she needs an envelope of money for a conversation like that.
He sweet-talks his mother like he always does, gets a winter coat out of the deal, and takes Eun-sang out for a date all without budging an inch.
They go for a walk and he whines that he wants to hold her hand, so when she offers it, he throws his arm around her instead. When she cuts the date short to go to work, he back-hugs her to hold her back, and then hugs her again, wrapping her in his coat for extra-warm snuggles.
She finds money tucked in his coat, and he jumps for joy and lets her go instantly, which she pouts at. I do like that the tables are flipped and he’s the money-obsessed one now.
He gets called to a meeting with Manager Yoon, who confirms that the battle has begun. And once Won is done fighting Chairman Dad, Tan will be next. Manager Yoon reminds him that this isn’t a war he can avoid—he was born into this responsibility, and there are sacrifices he’ll have to make.
Rachel tries to squeeze Bo-na for information about where Eun-sang works, and when that doesn’t pan out, she texts Young-do with the threat that she’s standing outside Eun-sang’s workplace right now.
He takes the bait and goes dashing off to rescue her, only what he actually does is lead Rachel right to Eun-sang’s café. He sticks around and gives her the warning that Rachel found out, and tells her to call him if anything happens.
She reminds him using his words that she’s got plenty of black knights on her side, and he notes that that’s likely the moment that he started to like her, when he said that the first time.
When she gets to work she’s told she has a catering order tonight, and on a hunch she calls Chan-young to ask where his party is tonight. She confirms that it’s the same address and guesses what Rachel is up to.
She lets Tan know that she’s headed to the party, and then shows up to fulfill the catering order anyway, dressed in her apron and ready to confront all her classmates. Rachel smiles while all the other kids wonder what she’s doing here, and then when she’s about to say it, Tan storms in to stop her.
She insists she has to stay here until all the coffee is dispensed, so he overturns the table and says she’s done. Good grief. Was that really necessary?
He brings her downstairs and asks why she’s doing this when she knew exactly what she was getting into. Eun-sang says she came here ready to tell everyone the truth, because what she was really ashamed of wasn’t that she was poor—it was that she lived the lie that she was rich.
He asks why they can’t just take the easy road, and she argues that going straight ahead knowing she’ll get hurt is something she learned from him. She sticks to her plan and goes back to get more drinks so she can do it all over again.
By the time she gets back, Tan has come around, and he tells her that if she gets scared she can quit and run into his arms.
So she braces herself to face the crowd, including Young-do who arrives behind her. She tells the whole group that she works part-time jobs for the money because she’s not rich.
This time Tan even stops Chan-young from running to the rescue, and they sit back as the kids all scoff. They ask Tan if he knew, and he pretends to be fooled just like everyone else. It seems like a weird choice, until he walks up to her and reacts like he doesn’t care in the least, which is a pretty good way to play it.
And then the lights dim and they get a spotlight above them, which is so unnatural I stopped and laughed for a good minute. He tells Charity Case Eun-sang that it’s nice to meet her, and introduces himself as Bastard Child Kim Tan. Rachel reels, and Young-do leaves.
Tan tells her it’s time to join the party now, and puts his arms around her to untie her apron. He undoes her hair and ties a corsage to her wrist, and everyone just stands around still watching them, because that’s not awkward or anything.
And then he kisses her on the forehead sweetly.
COMMENTS
It’s strange that Rachel and Young-do’s lives both revolve entirely around Tan—whether they get to have him or not, whether they come first in his life or not—and they basically spend all their energy fighting for the right to be relevant to Tan. It’s sad, really, that they value themselves so little… you know, except for the part where they’re both so mean and terrible that I feel no actual pity. But I guess it is fascinating in a dysfunctional way—they’re both clinging so desperately that they’d rather be Tan’s enemy than become irrelevant to him, and Young-do feels more hurt that Tan might grow up without him and decide their fight isn’t worth fighting anymore. And Rachel would rather be hated than inconsequential to Tan’s love life, even if she’s hurting Tan and herself just to keep one foot in his life. I’d pitch in for some group therapy, but I’m pretty sure you two could afford it.
At least Eun-sang coming clean about everything takes the power out of Rachel’s hands. And her hands are really not ones that should hold any power, over anything. Ever. I was scared that Eun-sang was going to be a noble idiot and transfer schools to keep Tan’s secret, because she’s exactly the kind of person who would do that, and I’m fairly certain she would’ve considered it seriously if he hadn’t overheard Rachel’s threats. I’m not always behind Eun-sang’s logic with everything, but I like that she decided to hell with ridicule and scorn from her peers—she’d rather take her life into her own hands than have the bitch on a power trip lord it over her. Now that, I can get behind.
What’s even better is that she doesn’t need Tan to rescue her or do anything at all except back off, and for the first time ever, she puts her foot down, and he listens and offers support in a—gasp—supportive way. Go figure. If you just let her stand up for herself, she’s all the stronger for it. It took way too long, but I’m glad she finally came around and realized that she’s only as scared and powerless as she decides to be.
The only thing I dislike about it is the fact that we had to live with Scaredy Eun-sang for the first, oh, two-thirds of the show, when Awesome Eun-sang was an option. I suppose I ought to thank Rachel for bringing it out of her, since she only seems capable of being feisty around her. Not that I trust this show to be consistent with keeping Feisty Eun-sang around. Let’s not go crazy with the expectations. Now that feelings, socioeconomic statuses, and birth secrets are all out in the open, let’s try moving forward, shall we? I’ll take baby steps over backpedaling any day of the week. Or yunno, just more of them:

I still love this drama, a lot!! I am still not used for Kim Tan to be bosy sometimes, but in a way I understand why he does it, I don't approve it, because here on this side of the world when we see a man doing that, it is totally wrong, but in the other hand, he is so sweet and nice to her, you can really see that he LOOVEESSSSS her sooooooo much!!! and that he really wants to be her MANNNN!!! hahahahahaha. I am not feminist at all!! what can I say :-)

Just out of curiosity - when Young Do tells Rachel that she didn't follow the rules of their engagement, what exactly was he referring to? What rules? That because it's a political arrangement - they shouldn't have feelings for each other? I would appreciate it, if someone could bother with explaining the rules to me. Thanks.

There are no such rules. It's just their perceived notion of what marriages are in Chaebol-speak sort of way.
In normal people's terms, RH played by the engagement rules pretty straight. She was a good 'daughter-in-law' to be, and for many times she has covered for KT's outright disrespect to the engagement, just so that their parents won't get involved.
So yes, she wasn't supposed to have feelings for KT, because damn, Chaeobols are all money hoarding, cold-hearted robots, who only breathes, speaks, and eats profit.

I'm guessing one of the 'rules' he mentioned is the engagement/marriage is done out of political and business reasons rather than love. Persons who start to feel attached to it and believe that they will be a loving couple are the one who break the rule since everything is set up. Rachel started to obsess with this fake engagement.
Both Tan and Rachel knew all along that they've been engaged because of their parents' decision not because that they truly love each other like other loving couples.
For me, Rachel being bitchy and angry all the time at Tan's behavior as her fiance is because she agreed to accept the fate of this engagement and wanted to go along with it.
On the other hand, Tan couldn't pretend and get passed the fact that it's done without his consent. But he couldn't do anything about it either. So, the way he acted like an ass to Rachel just because it is a way to show that he was really against it. So, Tan never treats her like a real fiancee since he doesn't love her like that.
I hope this would help explain what YD said about the rules...

I took a bit of time today to watch part of this episode, and it surprised me by having some reasonably clever dialog, by melo standards, and both Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye looked very natural conversing on screen. PSH, in particular, has a decently strong voice, when the writer gives her something to say.
On the other hand, the characters are all saying and doing the same silly things they were saying and doing when I gave up on the series after Episode 2. The plot hasn't advanced more than an inch in twelve hours of screen time. That's what kills the show for most people, I expect.

I have so much to say I wish I had more time. There is so much I like in this show in terms of storylines but the storytelling leaves a lot to be desired. First we went around and around in circles in Tan and Eun Sang’s relationship (or lack of development therein), then we have been circling around and repeating the same arguments in Tan and Young Do’s feud and the forced love triangle that never was. But belatedly, it looks like we are arriving where we should have been a while back.
Young Do finally came to the point I expected him to in the beginning of episode 13. From what he told Eun Sang in the radio room I had guessed that he was trying to rile Tan to get trashed to punish himself. He told her he was going to let her go soon and that the people he will pick on because he can’t do it to her anymore included Tan and himself. So it was no surprise when he told Tan every time he saw Tan he wanted to kill himself or Ra Hael that he was resenting himself.
After the contemplation of their wrongs to each other with Tan I’m hoping mending the fences will begin. Tan’s attempt at stopping his “mother” from calling Young Do’s dad in was a step in the right direction.
I finally saw the glimpse of the friendship I wanted developed between Young Do and Eun Sang. I found her offer of the bandaid and his delayed and gruff acceptance of it very symbolic. She offered a hand of friendship and he took it because he knows that’s the most he will ever get from her but it will not be easy for him to sit back and watch her romance with Tan as we heartbreakingly saw in the final scene. When he realized he unintentionally revealed Eun Sang’s secret to Ra Hael he was so worried and his regret was so sincere. It might have been the first time he genuinely apologized anyone. His offer of help was not taken to his regret and I wondered if in the future Eun Sang would call him for anything.
I know many people sympathized with Ra Hael but I was never able to. To me she is the typical example of classist, entitled bitch who wants to destroy something if she cannot have it. Her attitude of “how can he prefer a maid’s daughter to me” is not love but obsession and Young Do was right in that Tan had never given her hope. I mean come on, she is visiting him for their engagement anniversary after a year and he doesn’t even come to pick her up at the airport? That is a very strong statement. I know many people were disturbed by Tan’s treatment of her especially in California but now that I think about it Tan must have known something we don’t. He must have been aware that Ra Hael was not looking at this engagement the way he does and acted accordingly to stifle any hopes she might have (not that it helped one bit!).
I used to think Young Do and Ra Hael would make a good couple but not anymore. I think Young Do deserves better and Ra Hael doesn’t seem capable of giving him the love he needs. Ra Hael is as lonely as Tan and Young Do was/is. But in her case, at this point, tit’s her fault. Through her actions she lost Tan’s friendship and Young Do’s support.

Not that Tan really treated her like a friend. And she had always sparring of wits against YD, it's not like she ever had a single support in her circle of "friends" if she even have one! Barring her good connection to Won, she's the loneliest of them all.

:We don't know how Tan treated her before the engagement. If their attitudes of the engagement is so different we can't expect Tan to treat her that friendly afterwards. My point is: yes she is lonely, but it's her own making. And as I wrote before she seems to be one of the typical bitch second lead who don't have any female friends.

I just realized something: I have been wondering what prompted Won to exile Tan to America 3 years ago and due to some things I have read before the drama started I always thought it had to do with Tan outing himself to Young Do. However, that storyline must have been changed. Apparently Won became the CEO 3 years ago and like newly crowned kings getting rid of competition before it gains strength he must’ve immediately got rid of Tan.
I don’t understnad why everyone is acting like Tan and Won fighting for the company is unavoidable. Can’t Tan use the shares he has just to support his brother? He has no ambitions to be the CEO and I’m sure he’d love to work as his brother’s right hand and be truly content.
I love Chan Young and Bo Na’s faces in the last scene and think of it as a reflection of ours. Happy people in love like seeing others to be the same way, too.

Also does anyone else get the feeling that Tan wants to have his cake and eat it too? When his dad ask for his wallet, phone, coat, he didn't even blink an eye before turning them in but as soon as he got a chance he asked them back from his mother behind his father's back and during his impromptu date with Eun Sang he said his lack of money was temporary. So he is hoping his dad will forgive him or feels entitled to his father's money which means he is not giving up anything really. I know he is risking it and I know it would be unrealistic for someone who has been very rich all his life to embrace poverty but I found his behavior inconsistent.

I think the situation was that his father kicked him out, and not him leaving home on his own. That is the different in the money situation. His is prideful with his family situation, but not with money. He is not hating on his father and does not have an aversion to using his father's money.

I'll just repost here what I posted on another drama blog. This pretty much sums up my opinion about this drama and the way it has handled the character development, or rather under-development of Rachel.
[I]Thank you. On the point.
And I respectfully disagree that it's not all about just Rachel's pride getting hurt. Tan never showed an iota of respect to her even before he met Eun Sang. He was a jerk towards her. It's one thing that they're in a loveless engagement, but he "accepted it" then he's going to act as a jerk towards her to show his discontent? Why does she deserve that? Meanwhile Rachel was sincerely putting up efforts to make the engagement not just work, but at least bearable for the both of them, if you know, they at least treated each other with respect befitting of engaged couples. But no, Tan actively ignores her and rejects her to the point of me wondering if they were even "friends" that he claimed they were. I certainly wouldn't treat my friend like that. And to add salt to the wound, he even actively chases another girl right in FRONT of her. What kind of decent man does that? He could have at least broke the engagement first, then started chasing his girl. But no, he won't even grant them that, he even placed the onus back to Rachel and her family to break the engagement by using his mother as an excuse. If you think of it this way, he expects Rachel to break their engagement because of the same reason of being an "illegitimate son" in which he just confirmed, that in fact, his mother status is of lesser value and therefore is not deserving of marrying her family into. Yeah way to go Kim Tan. You couldn't even break the engagement yourself by simply saying that YOU DON'T LIKE HER, and that you don't care about the money involved. Prick.
Anyway, I hope the writer redeems Rachel's character soon because to be honest I'm only interested in her and Young Do's characters. The main couple is as bland as a cheap coffee can get. [/I]

I agree with you 100%. When Rachel first appeared I thought she was the stereotypical 2nd lead heinous bitch whose sole purpose is to make life miserable for everyone and who will get her comeuppance in the end. But it's a lot more complicated than that. Tan has treated her horribly. She's spoiled and entitled and like a little girl who thinks she a big lady because she's engaged but she likes Tan a lot and I'm sure he knows it. He might not like her back but she deserves his respect if he is, in fact, a gentleman. Her treatment by Tan speaks volumes about the character of Tan.

Exactly, and she ALMOST successfully subverted it by actively avoiding Eun Sang, you know you would expect that she would be dishing the same amount of "bullying" that Young Do does to other students most especially towards Eun Sang. But she doesn't. She only always reacts and lashes back at her whenever Kim Tan actively pursues her or when she responds back to it. She's VERY very tame for a second lead bitch stereotype. But in a way, I guess we could thank Young Do for that, because without his character the writer could have easily written Rachel to do all of the bullying, and that'll make me just roll my eyes even more. The first time they both introduced her and YD's character I was sighing relief, that finally in the day and age of 2013 we could finally see a much more nuanced second lead. They had all the potential but then we hit time travel and got stuck to the past stereotypes again.

I agree that Tan's hate was misplaced. He directed most of it at Rachel, but it was hardly her that set up that whole mess - it was the parents. But instead of going after that, he instead attacks Rachel who had just as little say in it as he did.
But as is far too common in k-dramas, the parents - no matter how freeking stupid - are never challenged.

I don't think anyone would have listen to him if he had said "I don't like Rachel," which I think he did. Remember during the meal, Rachel said she wanted to break up, and all the parents did was to send them away so they could talk?
I think Asian cultures don't let kids disagree with their parents outright and not have repercussions. I tried to lightened up my disagreements with my mother by not having a straight answer. I have to circle around the topic several times before I can tell her that I disagree with her. Because if I do, she would think that I'm ungrateful and don't respect my elders who know more than me.

Too bad it has taken this long to get to the action story but these last two have been fun. Despite their real ages don't forget they are playing teenagers. Don't expect rational actions all the time, life will teach them. They have a lot of "rich" baggage for people so young. Looking forward to the remainder of the drama.

This drama has a lot of interesting characters!
I love Tan's character,Madam Han & Lee Bo Na!!!
Once I read in an article that Kim Eun Sook's dramas are somehow that you wanna eat it all up! I agree with this
I very much love the dialogues,characters & story line!!
the reason of me liking the characters mentioned above:
1-Kim Tan:his character is different than other heroes in other dramas. He is hurt & screwed up! It maybe weird but I like the fact that he is illegitimate,hated by older brother,he has issues with his friend. all these things make this character unique!!! his richness isn't highlighted.
I like that he openly showed interest in Eun Sang right from the word go!! Tan's relationship with his mom is fantastic!
2-Madam Han: I love HOW perfectly "Kim Sung Rung" has acted this role. She is immature & a bit silly. she doesn't want 2 stand for herself & has trapped herself in that house!! VERY PASSIONATELY she wants her son 2 be with s.o so that he will live a good life no matter if she won't be able 2 introduce her as his mom! (actually now everyone knows her)
3-Bo Na: she is so sweet & cute!! Although she is possessive & jealous,she is very innocent

I am with you about Kim Tan. I like my hero a little bit screwed up and not such an angel. He yelled at Eun Sang a lot, but she really does not listen to him. She yelled back and whacked him sometimes. So far, all he does is pulled her around and people gets their panties/jocks all twisted. I rather he flipped the drink table instead giving it good to Rachel for setting up Eun Sang at the party. As for the chair raised over his head coming at Young Do, it just show how crazy he could be when he perceived that Eun Sang was threatened. He got me with the push kick on Young Do, it just tell me this guy is not a pushed over.
I love my nephew and if someone harms him, I would do more than just use a chair.

I am sorry PSH's fans but the character of Eun Sang is the least interesting one!! Maybe.. Shin Hye has acted badly but I really cannot warm 2 this character. I don't like same facial expressions!!! :s
She also doesn't do well in kissing scenes!! I gives me the impression that she is being tortured!! But Come On Shin Hye Being kissed by Handsome & tall Lee Min-ho is beyond anyone's wildest dreams!!!!
Does she have sexual problems??
I WISH that she would do better in future!!she is totally wasted in this drama

My ideas for future Heirs storylines (cliches, etc., influenced by Kdramas) :)
1) KT's dad continues to intervene with KT/ES and everyone else.
2) YD's dad and Rachel's mom will get married.
3) HS will have another nervous breakdown. HJ will be the one to save him. HS' eomma's attitude towards her son will change, involving a highly emotional scene in a hospital room.
4) YD will have a significant change of mind and heart. He might even have an encounter with Joon Young who he previously bullied, and he will express his deepest regrets and apology.
5) ES will take more notice of YD. She will start reaching out to him more and they become closer.
6) YD might get into a motorcycle accident. KT and ES will visit him in the hospital.
7) KT and YD will reconcile.
8) Of course, they will graduate from high school. :)
9) ES will eventually break up with KT. She decides to put her family's life and ambition first.
10) ES' eonni will reappear, having made something of herself from the money she stole.
11) Eonni will sponsor ES' schooling abroad (maybe in Europe), where she will take up film making. Eonni will make up for her past mistakes by taking care of their eomma while ES is gone.
12) After a few years of being abroad, ES will lose contact with either KT or YD. They all go on with their lives but sometimes think of the memories they had… :)
13) The show will give us a look into their future, complete with caption saying "After 7 years..."
14) KW's and KT's dad's health will have gotten worse and no longer have the strength/will to control his sons anymore. KW/KT relationship will improve.
15) KW will continue to head over the company while KT is taking up his master's degree, perhaps in the US.

16) It is highly likely that KW will end up with HJ (since dad will no longer intervene and according to the show, first love never works so no HS/HJ, though I ship them).
17) CY& BN are still going strong. May even include a really cute-to-the-bone moving-in-together (or even wedding) proposal!
18) BN is working for Mega Entertainment. CY (being the smart one) will finish school with flying colors then perhaps work for a prestigious company (or Jeguk) for a while. Eventually he will start up his own business and his dad, Sec. Yoon, will also eventually resign from Jeguk. Father and son become partners and start their own empire. :D
19) HS will pursue a career in film making/broadcasting/whatever as long as it is not related to law. He might even be a teacher, inspired by his first love. Whatever it is, I want a happy ending for him.
20) Because of her past humiliation, YS might want to "reinvent" the family business and turn the room salons into a chain of beauty salon instead! :D She and BN still remain best friends.
21) Rachel will still be somewhat hateful but become a very successful businesswoman with RS Int'l.
22) MS will surprisingly join the family law firm. He will specialize in corporate law and by chance will have to work with RS Int'l. MS and Rachel will "get to know each other a little bit better." Come to think of it, I don't even remember any relevant scene between these two. :) I think MS is also clever like Rachel so they can banter all they want, but his bubbly personality will make Rachel loosen up.
23) YD is working full time for Zeus Hotel. His father still "bullies" him any chance he gets. YD's eomma will unexpectedly make her return (that's if she's not dead yet). Mom and son will work together to bring YD's dad down. YD will hopefully utilize his high IQ and overthrow his father, eliminating him from the company and his life, and exacting revenge for himself and his eomma.
24) Rachel's mom will divorce again. She will reconnect with Sec. Yoon. Third time's the charm! Let's make this the only first love to actually work! :)
25) ES will come back to Korea and start working on a feature suspense/horror/thriller movie project.
26) KT will come back to Korea and start actively taking part in running Jeguk (or he may even become the chairman of Jeguk Foundation and oversee Jeguk High).
27) Choose an add-on: :D
a) ES basically ends up with nobody but remains friends with both KT and YD.
b) ES and KW will both have returned back to Korea. Their meeting will somehow include a scene involving a dream catcher. ;)
c) Years after high school, she and YD will accidentally meet at a convenience store. They greet each other and YD asks ES if they could finally eat noodles together. ;)

Personally since the beginning I think I might have been suffering from a bit of second lead syndrome. Yes, YD's past actions and violence cannot be excused, but I find that currently it seems YD's and KT's characters are being switched: KT has become more aggressive and YD is turning into the underdog. I feel KT, though in subtle ways, is sort of bullying ES. Though not one is better than the other, I can't help but wonder if a huge reversal is going to happen in the end, just because I find it suspicious that the main OTP has been established and given a lot of "alone time" very early on. Like there's no more mystery and no more point of adding a third party because we are all sure they are meant to be. As I recall it, ES' and YD's paths crossed first even before she left for the US. In a way, YD was sort of connected and/or attracted to ES even before he officially met her. I don't know if this detail is important, but why not let ES and KT meet first and be attracted to each other in the US, and then let YD see ES and try to steal her, as in like the quintessential antagonist?
Some other contrasts between KT and YD. Regarding the scene when KT asked ES to pay for food then they found money tucked in his coat, he suddenly let go of ES then jokingly held the money back from her. It seemed he would have still let ES pay for food. Sort of a huge contrast with YD who always seems to have to spend money for ES: paying for chicken to get her number, paying for black bean noodles to talk to her, reserving Mango Six just to spend time with her. Putting the violence aside because in one way or another, both have been manipulative with her, their interactions with her have been different. Since the beginning, YD was always asking her questions, wanting to know about her and wanting to get information directly from her. KT resorted to always telling her what to do, threatening her (if you don't accept me, just leave the house) and stalking her.
Also I don't like KT's treatment of ES when he received Sec. Yoon's call after they found the money in his coat. He did say sorry for not being able to go with ES, but the way he said it seemed like ES was nowhere near as important as that call. He might eventually be completely taken over by his fight with his brother and end up taking ES for granted. Meanwhile YD (with his new hairstyle) will be waiting in the wings.
I'm still pretty interested on where the story will go. I see a lot of very interesting views in here and I hope the writer has means to read international viewers' comments as well such as posts here on DB.
If YD/ES doesn't work out in the end, I'll probably just end up watching Queen of Reversals to get a fix for my SLS. :)

KT appear to ES in US, when she was in despair, totally lost, no direction, homeless, no money, no food. KT help ES with lodging, food, drove her to look for her sister, lend ES his phone for international call, SNS to Chan. KT was at no point of time, hurt ES, he was gentle with her and all of his gesture in US was help.
Unlike YD, all ES remember was YD tried so much to hurt her. YD tripped her on her first day at Jeguk HS. Bullying the about-to-be transfer boy time and again. Threaten ES that "you are mine". ES face look so scare and disgust of YD.
Even if YD change his hairstyle to non-gel now, it is too late. ES fear YD. YD is like a bomb, don't know when it'll explode if provoke. The number of times YD is nice to ES is less than those YD is nasty to ES. Those $ he spent on her, ES didn't get to have it. YD get to eat the ramen, noodles.
KT gave "I love California" t-shirt which ES get to keep. KT observe what ES was looking at the shop, and he bought exactly the t-shirt ES was looking earlier. That's sweet memory that couple slowly create.

I like the way you have pointed out all the times Young-do has spent money on Eu-sang. As far as I can tell Tan never has. He's rich, has access to oodles of cash, and yet he never seems to have spent a penny of it on her. She borrows money for the plane fare back to Korea from Chan-young. Her mother takes out a loan to pay for her expensive uniform. I don't think Tan would have had any difficulty coming up with the $$$ for either purchase. Not only that, has he ever spent any money on her at all? Like on a date? Also I think this whole illegitimate thing is a bit of a red herring. Tanis still going to get his shares and maybe even control of the company anyway because, for some reason shrouded in high financial gobbledegook, Mr Tan needs it to happen.
People who consider themselves top tier on Heirs tend to treat the people beneath them like objects. Young-do, while he has behaved very x100 badly, never seems to have treated Eun-sang like an object. He seems to see her as a person. I'm not on Team Young-do here either. He's a messed up kid and not primo boyfriend material at all. Therapy, therapy! That boy needs therapy! I do question whether or not mere therapy will be of much use to Tan though.

"She borrows money for the plane fare back to Korea from Chan-young. Her mother takes out a loan to pay for her expensive uniform. I don’t think Tan would have had any difficulty coming up with the $$$ for either purchase."
That's very unfair to Kim Tan. In California when Eun Sang wrote to Chan Young Kim Tan asked Eun Sang what she will do when she hears from her friend. She said she'll borrow money for the plane ticket. He offered to loan her the money instead. She refused.
The rest of the response is for the whole discussion above:
How is spending money by rich people a measure of anything anyways? It's such an easy thing for them to do. True measure of love or care is doing something that really costs you (financial or otherwise). It was very easy for Young Do who has money enough to burn to order chicken to get her phone number or pay for noodles she didn't even eat or close down the cafe to see her. Ask Eun Sang and see whether she sees any of these as "money spent on her" or harassment...
Kim Tan broke his engagement, got kicked out of his home and was left penniless to be able to be with Eun Sang. How can it be compared with spending money?
Required fields are marked *
Lindy
November 25, 2013 at 7:30 AM
Point taken. Being rich certainly doesn't mean that you have to spend your money on the less fortunate. And I'm sure Eun-sang would rather Young-do not have spent his money to see her. Especially in the noodle scene where he is essentially blackmailing her to come to his hotel room.
Tan outs himself as illegitimate and therefore must assume that he might get kicked out of the house with nothing by doing so. And so what is his plan? Does he look for a job? Any kind of a job? No, he doesn't. He expects either Eun-sang to pay for his expenses, his friends to lend him money or his mother to slip him a few bucks on the side. Okay, so maybe he gets kicked out to be with Eun-sang and is left penniless. Isn't it therefore his responsibility to start earn his own pennies rather than leaving it up to Eun-sang, his friends or his mother?
Once again, I'm not on Team Young-do here but, in contrast to Tan, he has worked at menial jobs since middle school. Sure, it's to get him to learn the hotel business he will one day inherit from the ground up but he does know how to work. Tan, as far as I can tell, is still even getting his laundry done at home. Eun-sang washes his uniform for him and he complains about damaging the material.

If I was Tan I would have immediately applied to work in the cafe Eun Sang works. I agree that he doesn't have a plan yet but in his defense I think that's because it's the early days.
As for Young Do, he did not work willingly or by choice and he does not survive on the money he would have made by that work. In contrast to Young Do who was expected to work Tan was given specific instructions to not think and have fun. As long as these were not their personal choices I'm not sure that's a valid or useful comparison.
I took Tan's complaint about the jacket as teasing her, nothing more.
As opposed to many viewers I'm also not team x or y. I like both boys in different ways and defend and criticize them both as I find necessary. In fact I like Young do a lot and feel for him. However, I think Eun Sang should be with Tan only because he's the one she likes and there is no other reason necessary for these things.

@potatoluvah Good points all. It's the reason why despite his violence I feel YD might be a better match for ES than KT. (Don't hate me fans) but they are both jerks and for KT to pick up a chair to hit his former BFF speaks volumes of his character. God forbid he ever gets that angry with ES, then what? Also, sponging off your working girlfriend with the "I'll pay you back later" scenario isn't a good recipe for romance. Which woman hasn't heard the "I'll pay you back later" and not cringed. (eye roll). KT has never worked in his life and has no value for money. YD on the other hand, has.

"he pretends to be fooled just like everyone else. It seems like a weird choice, until he walks up to her and reacts like he doesn’t care in the least, which is a pretty good way to play it."
I don't think that's the case. KT was asked if he was fooled by ES (meaning if he didn't know she was not new money). KT yes he was fooled, but walked up to ES and said he ES told him she'd be okay but she was actually shaking. So KT's reply meant that ES fooled him to believe that she will be okay in revealing herself, but she was actually not.

Love this drama and I really crackedup at the the violently vehement views posted, I've been reading since ep one. This is a drama not a psychology exam or social services assessment. Life is not lived in just Black or white there are also various shades of grey. For example put your hands up if you were in Eun Sangs situation in ep14 and you bf because he didn't want to be perceived as overbearing just walked away from the locked door if you would be pleased with that behaviour. I definitely would not in fact that could result in the end of the relationship. I'd want him to make an effort to get me out. Just my 2 cents

Windsun33 thinks the writing on Heirs is bad. I think it is very good, although I am reserving judgment completely until Episode 20. I hope it doesn't crash and burn at the end but I remain filled with optimism. This is a difference of opinion, not fact. These differences, not only between Windsun33 and me but others, have been politely and respectfully expressed. Nothing violent about it.
I also come from an educational (psychology) and professional (counselling) background which leads me to postulate that Tan just might not be the hero of Heirs. I think he's written as the classic "bad boyfriend". Should I not share this opinion in a discussion devoted to Heirs ? Others have disagreed with me sometime vehemently but never violently.

These last three episodes seemed to have grabbed my interest. I believe as the next few episodes are shown it will be YD that will have to protect ES because KT will be kept away by his father. Regardless of what anyone thinks YD has it to protect the person he loves including his friend IT.

She could have got it specifically for Young-do but more likely she's just the type of always prepared type to carry band-aids all the time. I bet, though, that band-aid is going to make a reappearance. He will have been been carrying it around with him as a memento of Eun-sang. The writer and director have made sure that we know she has given him a band-aid.

My take on the business end of things which could lead to the happy ending. Tan does nothing antagonizing to his father until his birthday, when the old man will give him the company stock because he can't resist having his sons in cutthroat competition. They individually have controlling shares unless Rachel's mom has a bit more. I would bet that combined Tan and Won have more shares than the old man. Probably more than 3%. Tan signs over to Won proxy control of his shares to run the company, there by stepping away from the competition with his brother - and maybe normalizing that relationship because they clearly care for each other but have never been allowed to express it. In exchange for the proxy control Tan gets his stock earnings to live off of (allowing him to live in the manner to which he's grown accustom). He and Eun Sang return to the US together or she leaves first on his father's dime since he's making moves to send her & because I would relish the irony. Of course at least Eun Sang's mother or both mothers would relocate as well. Won inspired, gets back together with his ex, Jeon Hyun Joon. And I think Young Do ends up with Madame Han's daughter, Kang Ye-Sol. Happiness.

I think the episodes 13 and 14 were by far the best and 14th episode is better than 13th if we compare the two. I am glad we got the chance to get out of the typical-softie-candy-female lead. The thing about choi young do is that when i start feeling sorry for him and am in the first phase of second lead syndrome he does something stupid and hideous to make me wanna go there and give him the counselling myself. Lee bo na is so damn adorable and good hearted that no one can hate her even when she suspects eun sang to take away chan young from her! rachel just gives us a new reason to hate her in every episode. i like the relationship between madam han and eun sang's mom. I feel like crying when eun sang's mom wants to say something but no one would wait for her to take out the notepad and write it :( I am loving this show and can actually feel the emotions. I just wish this show would not disappoint us in the future. (What's with the overuse of the words daebak and oh my god?)
